The number is 78.
Given: The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 15. If the digits are reversed the number increased by 9,
To Find: The number.
Solution:
Let the digit at the unit place be 'x'.
It is said that the sum of the digits is = 15
So, the digit at the ten's place = 15 - x
So, the original number = 10 × ( 15 - x ) + x
= 150 - 9x
On reversing the digits, we have 'x' at the ten's place and ( 15 - x ) at the unit's place.
So, the reversed number is = 10x + ( 15 - x )
= 9x + 15
According to the information given, we can frame an equation as;
( 9x + 15 ) - ( 150 - 9x ) = 9
⇒ 9x + 9x - 135 = 9
⇒ 18x = 144
⇒ x = 8
So, the original number is = 150 - 9x = 150 - ( 9 × 8 )
= 78
Hence, the number is 78.
